It's a wonderful time of year when the Gray Fox kits arrive. Cathleen Crosby is one lucky gal as she has a den near her home. The Gray Fox mother and father have provided her with some great photo ops. In this first photo the Fox was "talking" to her.

Gray Foxes have a raspy barking call that is quite unique to them. The first time I heard their call, I grabbed my camera and hurried too fast down my garden steps. After I dusted myself off from the fall, I got to see my quarry - a beautiful Gray Fox.

Thanks to Cathleen for allowing me to share her photos with you here. I'll be sharing photos of the kits soon.
